Calvin Bailey, who is on trial for the murder of 18-month old Shaquan Nero, yesterday told a court that it was the infant’s mother, Bernadette Nero, who inflicted the fatal wound on him.
The charge against the accused is that on April 4, 2007, at Amelia’s Ward, Linden, he murdered Shaquan Nero. He has pleaded not guilty.
Leading his defence in unsworn testimony from the prisoner’s dock, the accused said that on the day in question, Bernadette Nero, with whom he once shared a relationship, attacked him with a knife but ended up stabbing Shaquan to his neck.
Bailey, in his testimony, referred to the infant as his son.
